This was a fun photo to make with @ClanStuntTeam for this weekend's 360 Fest at National Museum of Flight. It's a cracking line-up - including the good people of Think Circus & @WeAreCyclingUK - and weather forecast looks good so y'all should get along 👍nms.ac.uk/events/360-fest

Got out early to celebrate @_BCT_ #InternationalBatNight on Water of Leith @WOLCT in #Edinburgh and found a plucky Daubenton fighting the rain, some hooligan Soprano pipistrelles and a new chum who watched their aerial antics with maximum feline diffidence #LoveBats

📢🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Urgent rally: Stop the cuts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📢 Join us to protest the new funding cuts announced by the Scottish Government! When: 12.30pm, Thursday 5 September Where: Outside the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood What: Speeches, banners, chants! All the info: equity.org.uk/news/2024/stop…

So glad I managed to get along to catch part of Curious Seed's eight hour dance vigil 'A Field Happening…NOW' in #Edinburgh Holyrood Park - restorative, calming & quietly powerful. Photo album > andycatlin.myportfolio.com/curious-seed-a…

Quality night of great tunes from Swiss Portrait + Rosewood + Peplo at @sneakypetesclub (in the craziness of the Edinburgh Festivals so good to see a proper gig in a proper venue 👏). Full photo album over on my Portfolio page at andycatlin.myportfolio.com/swiss-portrait…

Wonderful photos by photographer @andycatlincom at the Stop the Far Right demo last Saturday. 🧡 #ayewelcomerefugees andycatlin.myportfolio.com/stop-the-far-r…

Looks like its been a grim summer for most wildlife so it was good to share some sunshine today with this Comma on the River Almond.

Before the clouds rolled in and stopped the fun, caught a couple of magic moments from this year's Perseid meteor shower over Water of Leith @WOLCT in central #Edinburgh 🔭

More passionate voices from all sides at today's Demo for Palestine on Chambers Street reminding us that it's been nine long months calling for a ceasefire. Full photo album > andycatlin.myportfolio.com/demo-for-pales…

Brilliant to see such a diverse group of folk gather together to send a clear message to the far right at today's Stand Up to Racism @SUTRScotland protest at @ScotParl 👏 Full photo album > andycatlin.myportfolio.com/stop-the-far-r…

"She plays out that truth with an unforgettable and shocking vividness" Oooh, deserved top praise from @joycemcm for @amyjcon 'Catafalque' @Summerhallery (and lovely to see another one of the images out'n'about).

Amazing to watch a mining bee today excavating her burrow from scratch in Dean Cemetery above @WOLCT Water of Leith. Imagine digging a tunnel twice your height in less than 90 minutes 💪🐝👏 (any species ID advice gladly welcomed)

Get yourself along to @shittheatre 'Or What's Left of Us' at @Summerhallery @edfringe - hilarious, moving and generous performance not afraid to mix it up with the folk club crowd 😂 Guessing it will sell-out and win multiple awards so don't miss out tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sh-t-…

First show of @edfringe was a belter from Amy Conway with 'Catafalque' which has some jaw-dropping moments as a celebrant tackles death, ritual and legacy. See it at @Summerhallery 1-11 Aug and then touring Scotland (and it's always ace to see one of my images out in the wild 👏)

Cracking time working with the good men of Blackstar Falling making images ahead of their new EP launch this November blackstarfallingband.com

The moral of tonight's nature watch on the @WOLCT Water of Leith is you don't mess with a Daubenton's Bat. Just marvel at the reaction time as it spins 180° to grab its Saturday night takeaway 👏

Robust fun'n'games from soprano pipistrelle and Daubenton's bat tonight on @WOLCT Water of Leith in central #Edinburgh (and hoping @guardian worrying report on health of English bats isn't a sign of UK-wide problem theguardian.com/environment/ar… 🤞)

Love me some bats'n'birds so enjoyed the @VADundee 'Kimono' exhibition especially the animal details like the netsuke with Japanese long-eared bat and the hawk incense burner (making pals with actual dog was an added bonus 😀)
